1 Year Old

Elliott's First birthday was on Friday October 28th.  We tried to do fun things all day, but lets be honest, he had no idea it was his birthday.

Grandma and Grandpa Davis skyped with us to sing Happy Birthday

Elliott opened presents.  Our neighbor, Cheryl, gave him some cars and we got him a  stuffed doggie,  which he didnt care much for but has since become very fond of.

 The next day we received a very special card from Grandma B.  At first Elliott found it kind of interesting but has since become very disturbing.  I, on the other hand, think it's the best birthday card anyone has ever given and had the song stuck in my head for the next two weeks.

Elliott had his birthday party on Sunday.  Uncle Steve and Aunt Hailey, Uncle Matt and Aunt Ally, Uncle Ben, the Lemmons, and the Beeneys all came.  We had burgers and hot dogs...

 an animal sound contest with the birthday boy acting as judge...

Ben, Matt and Mike were the finalists, but Mike surprised everyone and took the top prize with his donkey impression.

cake...

and presents...lots of presents.

Overall it was a pretty exhausting day...success!
